Overview
The Suprema BioEntry R2 BER2-OD is a fingerprint and RFID card reader for systems where a central door controller makes the decisions. It reads the finger or card at the door and passes it to the controller over RS-485, so it suits offices and buildings that already use, or plan, a Suprema CoreStation.
Is it right for you?
Choose it when you want fingerprint readers on several doors run from one controller. It cannot work on its own: it has no network port, relay or memory for users. For a standalone door, look at BioEntry P2.
Key features
- Optical fingerprint sensor (OP6)
- Card types: EM (125 kHz) and MIFARE, MIFARE Plus, DESFire and FeliCa (13.56 MHz) cards
- RS-485 with OSDP v2 for encrypted two-way communication with the controller
- Mullion (door frame) design, 50 mm wide
- Tamper detection
What else you need
- A Suprema CoreStation or other controller with OSDP over RS-485 (sold separately)
- A 12 V DC power supply; Suprema lists a power adapter as a separate accessory
- RFID cards that match the card types above, if people will use cards
Installation
It mounts on a door frame or wall with the supplied bracket and is wired to the controller over RS-485. Fitting by an installer is recommended.
Software and licences
The reader is set up through the controller in Suprema BioStar X, the on-premises access control software (sold separately). BioStar X licences are sized by the number of doors and users.
